The RECUV team of Brian Argrow, Jack Elston, James Mack, Tevis Nichols, Roger Laurence, and Kevin Rauhaser completed a successful week-long field campaign for the Airdata Verification And Integrated Airborne Tempest Experiment (AVIATE). The RECUV team worked with Conrad Zeigler from the National Severe Storms Laboratory, Adam Houston from the University of Nebraska, the Center for Severe Weather Research, the CSU-Pawnee radar, and the CSU-CHILL radar facility to validate in situ wind and thermodynamic sensing capabilities of the CU Tempest UAS.
